[THIN] Re: RDP Clients

Hi Doug,
 
Your VAR didn't do you a favour in giving user's elevated privileges. They 
could have added some real value by analysing exactly what the app required and 
determining whether an app-fix (eg application compatibility fix) could have 
done the same thing.
 
There are very few reasons for giving users any elevated privileges, and in 
those special cases ONLY the privileges required should be assigned. I can't 
offhand think of any scenario that would include shutdown rights.
 
What's the ERP application?
 
regards,
 
Rick

Brian,
Due to issues with our ERP software, our VAR created a new permissions
level.
So they have semi-elevated privileges.

Thank You

Doug:  what is the permission level of the users?

as I recall, under 2003 a remote user cannot shut down if they only have
user level permission and nothing higher.
